Playday standard is helmet and overalls.

[RAYDEO]

100% cotton overalls and a helmet.

Has to be 100% cotton. The ones from mitre 10 are something like 70% cotton 30% poly.

Best places to try are places that sell safety clothing like steel cap boots etc

[Technikhaus]

Also try dry cleaners, they quite often sell second hand 100% cotton overalls for $20 or so, a few friends got theirs from there for local car club events.

some work / fire retardant overalls are wool no? thus I mention no polyester as a guide, not specifically 100% Cotton otherwise I cant use my Race / FIA approved overalls going by that rule aye

I was just talking about the basic blue overalls type. But didn't realise that you could get them in wool too.

I would assume any specific approvwd race suit would be fine 😊

Just checked the overalls in the van, 65% poly so no good

[RAYDEO]

Morning team, 

Here's a bit of an update, the following people have booked and paid for a spot on track.

@MrMacKenzie

@shadywrx

@Adb318 056

@Andy_Mac

@SILNCR


The following people have booked tracktime and/or an entry for the treasure hunt, but not yet paid.

@TonyG

@Simo777

@morri001


That's only 5 people/cars on track at this stage.

I personally am excited and looking forward to this event, however slightly disappointed in the numbers thus far.

Please do share the word, and help us get some more numbers along, otherwise the return of MegaMeet will turn out to be a bunch of PlayDay regulars and a couple of Subarus on track.
 

[Kiwiflyboy]

Would love to go but not going to pay to come all the way up north on the hope i get the days off work. you would think that there should be enough north island members to make this a good turn out!

[AdamOst]

Im pretty much 75% there for the trackday, just got a few large bills to pay first and need to sell at least one of my other cars.

[phatrex]

In and Paid! :-)

[singularity]

Paid

[95svx]

Sounds like a fun time; always wanted to do a track day! Are you able to hire helmets? And is there anything special/checks that I should get done to the car in prep? Would live to give the SVX a jolly good run :-) The rally sounds fun too! 

[RAYDEO]

We have some helmets, they're old, but have been used for tracks at events before.
